The Nenana River - we tested the water, and it was definitely glacial in origin |
Whitewater rafts were launched down this slope |
Snowy mountain in Denali National Park |
The park is full of lovely views like this. |
Clouds came and went all day, making photography a challenge |
It's hard to tell, but Mt. McKinley's peak is just visible in this view. |
This bunny was nice enough to pose for us by a dry creek bed |
A better view of the bunny's creek bed |
Mt McKinley actually appears in the back ground of this view; you can just make it out in the next photo |
The ghostly white peak in the background is Mt McKinley. We had a better view the next day. |
The Savage River hike was a long one |
Interesting rock formation along the Savage River |
Can't get enough of those rocks |
Lichen-encrusted rocks on the river in orange, black, gray, and green |
Only buses beyond this point in the park |
We got closer to this mountain on the way back |
Veins of quartz are visible in this rock |
I am standing under the mountain |
This bird appeared to be posing for us |
Because of its cry of alarm, we called this the Get-Out bird |
The Get-Out bird was trying to lead us away from its nearby family |
If you look closely, you will see several nicely camouflaged chicks |
We later learned that the Get-Out bird is actually Alaska's state bird, the Willow Ptarmigan |
Another moose sighting! |
She posed nicely for us. |
Looking back over our hike on the Savage River |
